Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts

The other book I just finished yesterday is Midnight Bayou by Nora Roberts. Honestly I didn't like it. Being a Nora Roberts fan I think there was something missing from this book of hers. I liked the charachters and the humor she put in between. her writing style was as usual outstanding, but there was something about the book that didnt quite fit. It felt incomplete. Declan Fitzergald restores his haunted house, the Manet Hall, and falls in love with his neighbour Angelina. I guess I'll give it 2.5 stars out of 5.

Ice Castle (2010)

Today I watched teh movie 'Ice Castle'. The 2010 version. I haven't ever watched the 1970's version but I heard it was beautiful so when they made a remake of the film I went and got it. Me and my sister watched it together and OH! Its such a beautiful film. Its about a girl, Alexis Winston, whos dream is to be the worlds biggest skater. On her way to success she gets injured and loses her sight. The injury not only blinds her but tears her apart as she believes everything is over for her. Just when shes given all hope she meets Nick. Someone who believes in her, someone who loves her. Now I wont blab and tell you the whole film cuz you have to go watch it. =D Hope you liked it as much as I did.

PARADISE by Judith McNaught

Such a beautiful book! The journey of two people who were meant to be. After continuos partings who meet up again and who were never able to bury their feelings for each other. Meridith Bancroft. the only heir to 'Bancroft and Company' meets Mathew Farrell, a steel worker who's determined to prove himself, and fill everything with passion. You know they say opposites attract, well so did Matt and Meredith. I am a HUGE Fan of Judith McNaught! and PARADISE explains it. ONe of her most beautiful books. Even after eleven years, when Matt is no longer the scruffy kid and Meridith is her way to being president, they have not completely forgot each other. Nor have they forgotten what they've done and they're miserable conditions eleven years ago. Yet here they are just like destiny wanted and ready to move on but sometimes past just squeezes in anyway. =) A good read and definetly one of my Favourites!

REVIEW: Sign of Seven Trilogy by Nora Roberts

I have been a fan of Nora Roberts and this trilogy didn't upset me one bit. I wouldn't rate it as one of her best books but surely a good read. And as usual, she has succeeded to make girls all over the world fall in love with her men <3 Nora Roberts is one of those authors who doesn't make myths, legends, and magic seem fiction. And that is exactly what she does in her trilogy 'Sign of Seven' by Nora Roberts. This series is about a three friends who 'accidentally' release some evil magical force on their shred tenth birthday. It then shows us how the three fight it with nothing but love, courage and faith. =)

BOOK 1: BLOOD BROTHERS

 

Nora Roberts focuses on one the friends in the series, Caleb Hawkins. Roberts uses easy language and captivates you right from the first chapter. Opening up the mystery and then making you feel sorry for Cal, as he describes his life and his town. How he's always finding ways to stop 'it'. He starts getting the 'whys' and 'whos' when Quinn  is entered and helps him solve some of the problems. Eventually. he manages to put most of the pieces of the puzzle together with Quinn and they start a war which now they have hope to win.

BOOK 2: THE HOLLOW

In the second book we follow the life of Fox O' Dell, a successful lawyer. And Once again Roberts, captures us by her excellent narrative and unusual imagination. Personally Fox is a favourite of mine. He is filled with so many deep feelings and insecurities yet he stands firm in face of darkness. You never know what he will do next with his fast analytic mind and sudden change in decisions. In this book however the Fox with the woman he loves and friends have climbed another step to victory.

BOOK THREE: THE PAGAN STONE

 Being the last part of the series, its obvious the story ends here. In this book we follow the third friend, Gage Turner. Gage has gone through alot in his life and doesn't apologise to anyone for his pessimistic, cynical way of handling things. Gage was a struggling child and even now as an adult we see him come to terms with destiny and what it has always given him. Eventually, he will have to realise to step away from his past and into an adventure that has always haunted him.

'Perfect' by Judith Mcnaught

So..I know 'Perfect' is a really old book. But I just read it a month ago. I read a few books by Judith Mcnaught last summer. I didnt even know about her *sorry* BUT I really like them and so I bought her 'Perfect' and I have to say: IT WAS SO FRICKING PERFECT!
LOL Im a very movie-ish person and 'Perfect' was so touching and romantic, I just have to get A Zachary Benedict now! ( Normally I want every guy form every book I read)

So, here goes:
'Perfect' by Judith McNaught (Published in 1993). A romance with a hint of Mystery.
The story is about Zachary Benedict, an award winning actor/director, and Julie Mathison, an elementary school teacher. A story about how Zack has always been treated unfairly and how he is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. A story about an orphan who meets the escaped convicted murderer and changes his life. A story on how they fall in love and fight for and about there love. A love that is hard to give up but even harder to keep up. And personally, what I love about Judith McNaught books is how she keeps her previous characters alive. And as a fan of her previous characters as well I have a loyal feeling when I see them as a part in the newer books =)
For me, I totally recommend it! Especially if your a romantic fool and anything romantic and sweet makes yoyu fall in love <3 =)
